Student Media

The official University-sponsored student media include: The Crimson White, a 4-day a week newspaper; WVUA 90.7 FM, a 24-hour radio station; Marr’s Field Journal, an undergraduate literary journal; Black Warrior Review, a graduate literary journal; Southern Historian, a graduate-level history research journal; and various digital media projects.

These media are overseen by the Media Planning Board, a group made up of six students and five professionals, which is chartered by the University and reports to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. All student publication staff members retain their First Amendment rights and are free of censorship and advance approval of content, and all editors and managers are free to select their own staffs and develop their own coverage. A full-time staff of six professionals provides guidance, support, and training to the students working for the media.
